South Delhi Superstarz are in a very bad shape at the moment. After losing three consecutive matches, their last match was washed out due to rain, which was a chance for them to come back. In the match before that, their batting was a complete flop, and the whole team was all out for just 80 runs. The top order lost wickets quickly, and the middle order also could not recover. Bowling also did not show any special effect as the opposition chased the target in just 6 overs. If SDS has to come back in the tournament, then their batsmen will have to make strong partnerships, and the bowlers will have to make breakthroughs in the power-play.
The journey of the New Delhi Tigers is also no different. After winning the first match, they have lost three consecutive matches. In the last match, their bowlers gave some good moments, like 3 wickets of Pankaj Jaswal, but the economy rate of the rest of the bowlers went above 10. Chasing a big target of 200 runs, they made a good start in which Vaibhav Rawal played a brilliant innings of 62 runs, but a middle-order collapse spoiled the chase. The required run rate in the death overs increased a lot, which became difficult to fulfil. NDT will have to bring control to its bowling attack and show depth in the batting order so that the team can come back on the winning track.
The pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is quite friendly for batting. The ball comes off the bat nicely here, and runs are scored fast due to the small boundaries. Batsmen can easily play strokes, and one gets to watch high-scoring matches.
It is a bit tough for bowlers, especially in the middle and death overs. Spinners can do well with some variations, but the pacers also have to keep the line length tight. The team winning the toss chooses to bat more strongly because bowling becomes difficult in the second innings when the clock comes.
This will be the first match between South Delhi Superstarz and New Delhi Tigers, hence they do not have any head-to-head record yet. New Delhi Tigers is a new team in the league this year, and their journey has not been that good so far. They won their first match, but after that, lost three consecutive matches. On the other hand, South Delhi Superstarz reached the finals last season, but this year their start has been weak. The team has lost its first three matches, and just when it seemed that they would come back on track, their last match got cancelled due to rain.
This match will mark the start of a new rivalry for both the teams. South Delhi Superstarz have the advantage of experience, while New Delhi Tigers have new energy and a chance to prove themselves. SDS's bowling attack is quite balanced, but they will need to strengthen the middle order. NDT would like to bring consistency in their batting order so that they can win the match in pressure moments. You will get to see individual battles between the players of both the teams, and fans will be expecting a lot of fireworks.
